IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or base of appliance in water or any other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair and clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils, away during operation to reduce the risk of injury and/or damage to the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock or risk of injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of freezer bowl while in use to reduce the risk of injury to persons or to the appliance itself. DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS OR UTENSILS INSIDE THE FREEZER BOWL! Sharp objects will scratch and damage the inside of the freezer bowl. A rubber spatula or wooden spoon may be used when the appliance is in the OFF position.
11. This appliance is for household use. Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should be done only by authorized Cuisinart Repair Personnel.
12. Do not use the freezer bowl on flames, hot plates or stoves. Do not expose to heat source. Do not wash in dishwasher; doing so may cause risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
13. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long, polarized extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over.
CAUTION
- Do not immerse base in water.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not disassemble the base. Note: The base does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
- Repairs should be made only by authorized personnel.
- Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the name plate agrees with your voltage.
- Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
DO NOT immerse the motor base in water. Wipe it with a moist cloth. Wash the lid, freezer bowl and mixing arm in warm soapy water to remove any dust or residue from the manufacturing and shipping process. DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or hard implements.
FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is coldest. Be sure to place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.
Generally, freezing time is between 16 and 24 hours. Shake the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you do not hear the liquid within the bowl moving, the cooling liquid is therefore frozen. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing from the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been removed from the freezer.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS
1. Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or from your own recipe. Flip booklet over for Cuisinart recipes. If you use your own recipe, be sure it yields 1½ quarts or less.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. Place freezer bowl on the center of the base. NOTE: Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from freezer. Use it immediately after removing from freezer.
3. Place mixing paddle in freezer bowl. It just rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid on base and rotate clockwise until tabs on lid lock in place on base.
5. Press On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout. NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the freezer bowl after unit is turned on.
7. Frozen desserts will be done in less than 20 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours. NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl. Desserts will stick to the sides of the freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a freezer-safe airtight container.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
SAFETY FEATURE
The Cuisinart® Automatic Frozen Yogurt–Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the motor overheats. This may occur if the dessert is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an excessively long period of time, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.) are in extremely large pieces. To reset the unit, put the On/Off switch in the OFF position and unplug the unit. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert.
CLEANING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean the freezer bowl, mixing paddle and lid in warm soapy water. DO NOT PUT FREEZER BOWL IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN WITH ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe motor base clean with damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Storage
DO NOT put freezer bowl in freezer if bowl is wet. DO NOT store lid, mixing paddle, or base in freezer. You may store the freezer bowl in the freezer for convenient, immediate use. Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl in the freezer for more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts to a freezer-safe, airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.
Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
